Quoting tao.6.y...@nokia.com:

A Login user1 <user1's pwd>
A CAPABILITY

I expect to get the list that contains the following -
AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN AUTH=CRAM-MD5 AUTH=DIGEST-MD5

But actually I did not get the above content, I only get a short list
as below,

CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL -IR SORT THREAD=REFERENCES MULTIAPPEND
UNSELECT LITERAL+ IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE LOGIN-REFERRALS
 A OK Capability completed

Why did I miss the AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN AUTH=CRAM-MD5 AUTH=DIGEST-MD5??

Once you login, the list of available authentication methods is irrelevant. The RFC allows the CAPABILITY string to be different in unauthenticated vs. authenticated state.
